Amor Quote by Horace
““Sunt delicta tamen, quibus ignovisse velumis. Nam neque chorda sonum reddit, quem vult manus et mens, Poscentique gravem persaepe remittit acutum; Nec semper feriet, quodcumque minabitur, arcus. Verum, ubi plura nitent in carmine, non ego paucis Offendar maculis, quas aut incuria fudit, Aut humana parum cavit natura. Quid ergo est? Ut scriptor si peccat idem librarius usque, Quamvis est monitus, venia caret, et citharoedus Ridetur, chorda qui semper oberrat eadem. Ekzistojne dhe gabimet qe gjithsesi duhen falur; ngase as dora dhe mendja s'e jep perhere tingullin e deshiruar, dhe atij qe kerkon zerin e trashe, ia jep te hollin, e as harku s'e qellon perhere cakun e vendosur pezull. Vertete, kur ne poezine shkelqejne shume gjera, mua s'me pengojne njollat e pakta; ato shfaqen nga pakujdesia o nga natyra njerezore. Prandaj cfare duhet bere? Kur si shkrimtari gabon edhe pershkruesi dhe pas verejtjes se thene s'kerkon falje fare, ashtu dhe kitaristi do te perqeshet, kur te njejtit tel i bie gabimisht.””
